What Papers & literature skills agree on
202 skill files read, by 185 of the 191 authors on this shelf whose files we hold, 2026-09-06
The middle one of the 31 measured here is ~2.2k tokens long, counted with cl100k_base
Counted by distinct author, so one author publishing three of these counts once. Where a claim sits in fewer files than authors, that is said: a claim held by forty authors across three files is one file people copied, not forty people who agreed. Near-identical wordings are grouped and the other wordings are shown, so the grouping is yours to check.

How Papers & literature skills are built
591 skill directories by 213 authors, read from their repositories’ own file trees 2026-08-05
The middle bundle among those shipping files is 5 files, 28.8 KB beside SKILL.md
Counted by distinct author, same as above, so one author publishing forty template copies counts once. SKILL.md itself is not counted as a file, so a single-file skill is one where that file is the whole skill.
The shape
- SKILL.md is the whole skill62 of 213 authors, 199 of 591 skills
- files ship beside it151 of 213 authors, 392 of 591 skills
- executable scripts ship inside92 of 213 authors, 212 of 591 skills
